by Galen.Johnson＠sas.com 24 Apr '17

Hey, I've looked around and googled a bit but I can't tell what units the disk test uses when you set the warnlevel to 1024U...is that bytes, kilobytes (assuming yes), mb? Can you use a qualifier like 1024{KMGT}U? Anyone happen to know off-hand? thanks =G=

Monitoring mailq
by zforray＠vcu.edu 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

I inherited Xymon from a now retired co-worker. Now I have a request to monitor the mailq on a new box and I seem to have missed that in the brain-dump/transfer from the retiree. So, how do you activate the mailq info on a Linux client/server? Where can I find the latest Xymon client for an RHEL6 system? -- *Zoltan Forray* Spectrum Protect (p.k.a.

error:14082174:SSL routines:SSL3_CHECK_CERT_AND_ALGORITHM:dh key too small
by Paul.Root＠CenturyLink.com 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

We patched our OS on our xymon proxy servers, and now we get the error in the xymonnet test Error output: Unspecified SSL error in SSL_connect to https (47873/tcp) on host NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN: error:14082174:SSL routines:SSL3_CHECK_CERT_AND_ALGORITHM:dh key too small It looks like it's some sort of issue with an openssl patch. The machines in question are CentOS 6.9, and xymon is 4.3.21, that we packaged ourselves. I vaguely remember others having issues with SSL certs and xymon last year late. Does anybody have an explanation or solution? Thanks, Paul. This communication is the property of CenturyLink and may contain confidential or privileged information.

Is there a way to get the subpage information into your emails that you notify with? So if you had a hosts.cfg entry like this: subpage GIris GIris Servers It would add GIris in the notification subject and body?

Monitoring Multiple Windows Services with BBWin
by DWeaver＠mlgw.org 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Greetings! I am brand new to this list. Also, I'm brand new to Xymon and BBWin. However, I have worked with an old version of Big Brother for several years. I have created a brand new Xymon environment, with Xymon 4.3.27 on Linux as my master server. I am attempting to use BBWin 0.13 on various Windows 2008 and 2012 servers. All is working well with one exception. I need to monitor multiple Windows services on a given Windows server. Even though I add all of the services to the BBWin.cfg file, only one shows up on the "svcs" webpage for that server. Perhaps I have an error in my syntax? I will appreciate any help anyone can provide. Here's is an excerpt from the BBWin.cfg file on the server in question: <svcs> <setting name="alwaysgreen" value="false" /> <setting name="autoreset" value="false" /> <setting name="alarmcolor" value="yellow" />  <setting name="Tomcat7" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="netsense_dbgateway" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="netsense_eventlogger" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="Netsense_GIS" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="Netsense_ImportData" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="netsense_logger" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="netsense_metricscollector" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="netsense_mips" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="netsense_publisher_amrdef" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="netsense_rcs" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="netsense_reports" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="netsense_selftest" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="MASMonitor" value="started" autoreset="false" alarmcolor="red" /> </svcs> Many thanks!

Anyone have a plugin for IBM Datapower?
by Dan.McDonald＠austinenergy.com 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

I’ve been asked to monitor an IBM Datapower XML gateway, and wanted to see if anyone else had a plugin to do it before I re-invented the wheel. They have a mib, so supposedly I can poll it with mrtg and feed statuses into xymon with bbmrtg.pl, but IBM claims that their web service has greater detail and information. So, if anyone has written a xymon plugin to poll a datapower webservice and come up with useful stats to display in xymon, I’d love to hear about it.

Alert transition yellow -> red with repeat problem
by john.r.rothlisberger＠accenture.com 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

This is a problem I have seen for a long long time and have actually brought it up on the list before. Xymon 4.3.21 Ubuntu 14.04LTS The problem I have (in this instance) a warning which is to be repeated daily suddenly goes red and triggers a single alert but doesn't repeat again until the repeat time of the warning has passed. >From the notification.log: Tue Mar 28 05:31:28 2017 ServerA.disk (IP) disk_warn 1490697082 100 <- warning sets a repeat time of 1 day Tue Mar 28 05:53:32 2017 ServerA.disk (IP) disk_alert 1490698405 100 <- minutes later it goes red (red repeat time is 15 minutes but no further alerts are generated) Next alert comes out 1 day after the above warning: Wed Mar 29 05:31:31 2017 ServerA.disk (IP) disk_alert 1490783486 100 <- 1 day after previous warning. This should have been repeated every 15 minutes. Wed Mar 29 05:46:40 2017 ServerA.disk (IP) disk_alert 1490784394 100 <- now, the repeat time is 15 minutes ... <- and continues every 15 minutes. This alert went a full 24 hours with only a single notification. :( I have seen this before (not always) where the repeat time in a warning overrides a follow up alert until the warning repeat time has expired. Alert rules: SCRIPT /home/xymon/server/ext/pg/exwarn_SCRIPT disk_warn DURATION>30 REPEAT=1d COLOR=yellow SERVICE=disk FORMAT=TEXT UNMATCHED SCRIPT /home/xymon/server/ext/pg/exalert_SCRIPT disk_alert DURATION>20 REPEAT=15 COLOR=red SERVICE=disk FORMAT=TEXT UNMATCHED Ideas/thoughts?

False positives on RAM and DISK F19
by john＠executech.com 04 Apr '17

I realized that I didn’t give all the details. This only happens once or twice a week per server. It will go this way and then recover a few minutes later. Right now, everything is normal (green) but then it will happen again in a couple days. I’m getting the exact behavior on my 15 other Fedora 19 machines.
